  1. I believe that Ohtani's price was not significantly hurt at all by the elbow injury. I also don't believe for a second that the Rickeets would ok spending $30-50M/year/6-10years on Ohtani and then pick up Alonso's salary and extension. And a trade for him only makes sense for the Cubs if they can get an extension. So, although I have my doubts that they are serious bidders for either of them should Aloson become available, It's outside of my imagination that they would actively pursue both of them.
  2. This should be a fun thread. I have faith in this team to make it to the playoffs.
  3. ok. These things happen in the course of a season. It's really bad for it to happen now. It's why people are wrong who say games are less important in April. It drives me up the fricken wall. Every year the Cubs come our with a fluid bullpen and see what happens. It's a awful strategy. Also, I like Abuck and respect his negative opinions of Ross and the Cubs.
  4. They look like their license plate though.
  5. I really like the Rockies City connect uniforms.
  6. Morel overswinging. Somebody needs to tell him the ball carries in Colorado.
  7. The talent is there, maybe not the coaching. I'm not saying they're playoff caliber but certainly better than the Keystone Cops movie they put on last week.
  8. Let's try and keep this about Alonso. The Ricketts are not going to blow past the luxury tax, so expectations should be that they will spend to it but not over it for an extended period. If they target Ohtani, that's likely it for the Cubs minus some low-cost guys. There are other threads to bitch about the Ricketts extra-Cubs activities.
  9. It's never too early to make an example out of a player not performing to expectations in such a blatant way.
  10. I noticed that in the game. He's dropping back with his head down. Not like on the ground, but not where it needs to be. Those mechanical issues should have been fixed a long, long time ago. Same with the blocking scheme. This is a poorly coached team all the way down.
  11. Do you know who owns the Cubs?
  12. I don't know how a team could NOT be ready to start game 1, but that's what the Bears looked like. That's on the HC.
  13. Bellinger is not playing 1b full time. It's a waste of his talent. Any team who signs him in the offseason will be signing him to play CF.
  14. I don't know if the Sterns lead Mets are interested in trading Alonso, but if they are the Cubs need to make an effort. He hit his 44th HR last night. 114 EV.
  15. Didn’t they get new owners?
  16. yes. I'd say they don't think much of Mervis as a prospect.
